Trivial

Thursday, July 12, 2007



Two completed panels of Grace? Why, yes, they are. How kind of you to notice!

Progress on Grace has slowed significantly now that packing is in full swing. So it's nice to have these small, validating moments of achievement.

This morning I had the realization that I'll be spending my birthday weekend moving. Sigh. I know that birthdays are not, in fact, magic. And that the normal obligations of work, bills, etc must still be met on one's birthday. It's just that... let's just say that this is a big birthday for me. If hard pressed, I might confess that on this particular birthday I will be turning a number that starts with a "th" and ends with an "irty". And carting all my worldly goods from one apartment to another like a pack mule is not at all the way I planned on celebrating this auspicious occasion.

I know that there are many, many worse things in the world and will not dwell on this small disappointment. I just wish I'd realized it earlier.

And to keep with the completely trivial theme of this post, I found this adorable bag at a store in Harvard Square called Mint Julep.



Now I can bring my lunch, coffee, knitting and a great big book to work all in one bag. And hopefully, look vaguely stylish.

Speaking of a great big book... I finished The Fountain Overflows and it was truly, truly lovely. So now I'm moving on to the great big Edith Wharton biography I've had my eye on. I love summer.

    Great bag! And I love Grace - would you mind telling my which kureyon colourway you are using?

    Thanks! The colorway is 188C. I picked up the yarn through three different sources, so that I would be working from three different dye lots. But I'm not sure that my different dye lots plan has actually made that much of a difference. :)

    Happy birthday for the weekend! After all the moving is over, you get to through a kickass thirtieth-slash-housewarming shindig - so having to delay the celebrations might mean a better celebration in the end. And everyone will have to bring two presents - one for you, and one for the house. Loving Grace and loving the handbag. As for Noro dye lots... aren't they just a myth? The damn stuff never matches when I want it to, so it seems perversely appropriate the opposite would be true for you!
